Elucidating the similarity and diversity of pathogen effectors is critical to understand their
evolution across fungal phytopathogens. However, rapid divergence that diminishes …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Effector proteins are mostly secretory proteins that stimulate plant infection by manipulating
the host response. Identifying fungal effector proteins and understanding their function is of …

Structural biology has the potential to illuminate the evolution of pathogen effectors and their
commonalities that cannot be readily detected at the primary sequence level. Recent …

The interaction of fungal pathogens with their host requires a novel invading mechanism
and the presence of various virulence-associated components responsible for promoting the …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

Fungi occupy diverse environmental niches and many have evolved to live a pathogenic
lifestyle, causing devastating diseases in plants and animals. The interface between host …

Many fungi and oomycete species are devasting plant pathogens. These eukaryotic
filamentous pathogens secrete effector proteins to facilitate plant infection. Fungi and …

Phytopathogenic ascomycete fungi possess huge effector repertoires that are dominated by
hundreds of sequence-unrelated small secreted proteins. The molecular function of these …

Fungi and oomycetes are filamentous microorganisms that include a diversity of highly
developed pathogens of plants. These are sophisticated modulators of plant processes that …
